Chicken Pox - Day 4

Baby seems to have gotten over the worst of his chicken pox. I didn't notice any new blisters today.

He doesn't seem too bothered by the blisters. I have been giving him oatmeal and bicarbonate of soda baths several times a day. I have also applied Vitamin E on his scars. This is on top of the calamine lotion that the doctor gave us. I read that honey , smeared onto the skin, is also a good remedy. But it sounds too messy for me!

If no more blisters appear, then I'd say his illness has been rather mild. I'm crossing my fingers no-one else at home gets it. We want to be able to have some holiday fun outdoors!
